Thank you to our volunteers who helped patrons choose beautiful pottery bowls and take home gourmet meals to-go!

Now in its 28th year, Empty Bowls, Loaves & Fishes signature fundraising event, took place on Saturday, October 14th. 100% of the proceeds directly support Loaves & Fishes’ free meals and advocacy services. Loaves & Fishes currently serves 3,500-4,400 meals per month and no one is turned away hungry. The need for support is great and increasing. We are grateful to all involved.
